Perhaps gearing up for a presidential run of his own, real estate mogul Donald Trump has left the Republican party to become an independent.
A spokesman for the billionaire businessman says Trump changed his voter registration in case he wants to run in the 2012 presidential election.
Special counsel Michael Cohen said Trump could enter the race if Republicans do not nominate a candidate Trump believes can defeat President Barack Obama.
Cohen said Trump's wealth can help even the playing field with Obama's re-election campaign, but that Trump will not be making any decisions until May, when he finishes up the latest season of the reality TV show "The Apprentice."
